Bentacur007:
Wike was pained upon that Atiku defeated him via primary election
Hahahahahahahahaha
I will repeat it again
Atiku ,Tambuwal is bigger than Wike

Penguin2:
If Tinubu see 400k votes in the entire north in 2027, he should thank God.

lailo:
Is that what u think?

drstranged:
He won a substantial part of the north last election but this time, with the Growing disillusionment and negative sentiments against Tinubu across the country it'd be easier for Atiku to do it convincingly

lailo:
He will be VP, just watch on.
But wait o, Atiku may take style win o if Obi contest under LP and Atiku becomes only Northern candidate in the election. Tinubu and Obi may share Southern votes and Atiku gets massive votes in the North and sizable in SW and SS bcs of other coalition members like Aregbesola, Dele Momodu and Ameachi, etc especially if Ameachi is the VP.

drstranged:
If Atiku gets the presidential ticket of the coalition and Peter Obi leaves to contest on another platform, I see Atiku winning the presidency because Obi will certainly divide Tinubu's votes in the south. Tinubu's chances in the north are already dead on arrival except he rigs it so fantastically well. Outside that, Atiku will have a field day in the north, especially with the common hatred the north now has for Tinubu

OMBIIGA:
Nice initiative by our amaible Governor. However, why not charge some token for the sustainability of the scheme, in addition extend the service to the generality of Kaduna populace in the area of coverage.

Aiel123:
Goodluck...no
The one whose ambition is not worth the blood of Nigerians won't have the liver to outwit the president going by the dirty doings that litters Nigeria political space
An Obi ticket would be great but how will he get North votes?
SS is swaying to Tinubu
SW is locked down
Half of North Central too
If they go by my proposition at least they'll win SE/ NE, battle NW with APC .

Aiel123:
This is a well thought strategy I think might work for ADC in it's quest to plant it's flag in Aso Rock if all parties involved agree to make this concession, which would demand some costly sacrifice, while not downplaying the chance of this concessional strategy to go wrong

Since Atiku and Obi are the only ones in the coalition who have at least quarter a chance to win the presidential election in 2027,an Atiku/Obi ticket might suffice with some risky tweaks

Obi and his Obidients group has spoken that is the presidency or nothing
Atiku too is vying for a last shot...Clash of interest abounds and the north- south unwritten rotation is another albatross on Atiku's aspiration

How to resolve this?
Let Atiku and Obi run together as presidential candidate and VP respectively but with this tweak
Atiku and Obi should sign a written contract binding on both party ( Only them should know of this) that Atiku will resign six months or a year into their presidency, handing power to Obi
Atiku should keep this arrangement away from his northern cliche
Obi should discreetly tell his kinsmen ( trusted one though) so as to checkmate voters apathy in SE
The scenario will be that while Atiku galvanize the north,the east will vote Obi indirectly through Atiku as Obi get to rule for 3years max if eventually they win ( Obi himself said that if the present administration can destroy Nigeria in 2years,then 2years should be enough to fix the country,going by this I think 3years will be enough for Obi to prove himself)

It have the tendency to be a win win situation
Since the core north(aside Christian dominated areas won't vote Obi) and the south won't vote Atiku.

mrvitalis:
Lol your god that had to rig like kids to win Benue n Rivers? Lmao even with 22 governors plus 4 governors from PDP?

Your god that was flogged in his home state?

ElevationD:
Thank you for correcting yourself. In all, it is preferable to have a President who thinks of the welfare of citizens and ensures that there’s food, peace and security, over one who is a political wizard, without understanding of what living good lives for all the citizens means.

saintbillion:
If Tinubu wins next election, i go naked baf under shower. Even eyeneck and mc olumo boys can't save him this time

Antoeni:
He won 12 states without a single governor, senator, or House of Reps member behind him. No bullion vans. No federal might. Just the will of the people and a movement called the Obidients!

He won the FCT, where the opposition president resides.
He conquered Lagos, the home turf of his main rival, where the opposition once ruled and ran their campaign from.
He amassed 6,101,533 votes barely 8 months after joining a new party with no so-called “structure.”

mrvitalis:
I saw it on Facebook... I saw the comment section I laughed this us same Akwa ibom tinubu hope to win ? Lmaooo

If Oba or Luke are smart let them contest under ADC they would so win eeh

ElevationD:
See how you contradicted yourself? GEJ made all the wrong moves, yet appointing Jega was the right move because it favored APC? What would have happened if GEJ chose a close ally as INEC Chairman then? Will you call that naivety, strength or foolishness?

So to you, Tinubu just sat there and those who were not happy with GEJ just walked to him. So with all your so called calculations, you do not know that a lot of those in the PDP were his previous associates? So you do not know that in discussing with them, he seized the tempo of the moment to ask them to form a coalition? When you hear the words “political coup”, what do you think it means? Do you call it child’s play?

If you do not know that the word “coalition” means the same as “merger”, then you must take basic English classes. Then you do not know that to merge and to coalesce mean to team up. If I did not mention earlier that Tinubu teamed up with APP in 1999, you would not have known, not to talk of referencing it.

Oga, GEJ’s intention to contest for a second term was the matter. Nothing more and nothing less. The North felt that since Yaradua did not serve out his four years and GEJ had done close to six years, he had eaten into their time. They wanted him to leave. The other abracadabra about destroying the economy was conjured to throw him out.

Tell us if the hardship inflicted by your APC led government has not touched you so far, just as Tinubu and these same people in the coalition against him, insisted that Nigerians were suffering before 2015, in their false narratives.

We are talking about how to make life worthy of living for Nigerians and you are talking about Tinubu being the greatest politician. How has it made life better for citizens? How do those things corelate?

EdiskyHarry:
End will tell , I believe you understand the north very well, tinubu won last time due to the influence of buhari.

ElevationD:
GEJ was never a political weakling as you termed him. He was an honest man, who totally separated politics from national cohesion. If he wanted, he would not have had Jega as the INEC chairman. If he intended to keep himself in power, he would have rejected the results. He stayed the course and handed over peacefully. Your baba go slow publicly admitted that he was surprised that GEJ called him and congratulated him.

Tinubu did not gang up and yet he supported GEJ in 2011 against his own party’s candidate, Ribadu? Were you not there then? He did not gang up, but he formed a coalition, using PDP’s highest ranking officers? What do you call that, snuggling together?

If he wins, that’s fine. If he loses, that still alright. But that should mean that he also got paid back in his own coin.

Anyway, did you notice that he already showed concern?

ibabz:
Seriously? Let’s do some arithmetic:- South: OBJ - 8yrs, GEJ - 6yrs, Tinubu - 4 (after this tenure), making a total of 18yrs.

North: Yaradua- 2yrs, Buhari- 8yrs, making a total of 10yrs.

If a southerner Tinubu or Obi should do another 4yrs, that would give the south a total of 22yrs as against the 10yrs from the north.

Do you still think it’s fair for another southern candidate?

ElevationD:
Akpakomiza again. Well this one no be Edo politics.

Like already mentioned, all those who coalesced against GEJ are getting the reward in kind. Nobody ever thought this coalition would come or. Here we are today, with many previously silent political bigwigs waking up to join.

Others long got their rewards with their losses. Next is the baba himself. Why not go and appease GEJ first? Maybe there something deeper about him that we need to know.

ElevationD:
That’s your opinion though. But as you already know, Nigerians are passing through the worst form of hardship ever known, since ten years. Do you want to hide and pretend?

esnbrutality:
Atiku will be nominated as the flag bearer and you can smash your head on concrete.

Stop wailing ceaselessly on this thread.

Anything but TINUBU.

Nonsense
Anything but atiku

DeepSight:
If Aisha says this, she is surprisingly ignorant that she will be helping BAT back to Aso Rock.

ElevationD:
As worse as you choose to describe him, he cannot be as horrible as APC/PMB/BAT.

ElevationD:
What about Tinubu himself? Is he not the master of making coalitions and switching parties?

If you do not have information, why continue the Atiku story as if others are saints? While they remain in one party, they sponsor candidates from other parties. Where did the word “placeholder” originate from?

Tinubu was in the AD party when he joined forces with the then APP to support Olu Falae in 1999.
In 2003, the odds were heavy against AD’s control in the SW. PDP was like a tsunami that swept AD away. Tinubu agreed with Obasanjo’s second term to secure his own seat as the state governor. He joined the coalition with Obasanjo for his own survival. His party -AD- agreed to support Obasanjo, a fellow Yoruba man to remain in power. He was very lucky, as it backfired against AD in the SW. They did not reckon that OBJ and Atiku had targeted to sweep AD out of power in the entire SW. I remember vividly how on election day, BAT was on the streets moving to secure polling booths. He was the only AD governor who escaped the political tsunami. Bisi Onabanjo, Niyi Adebayo, etc were naive and swept out of power. I recall Atiku saying the he simply allowed Tinubu to remain as governor in 2003, out of friendship. He nearly removed Tinubu!

Crisis between BAT and others in AD on one hand and Tinubu and Afenifere on the other hand, caused Tinubu to move on from AD to form AC, another party. It meant that Tinubu decamped from AD. Those of you who say he never decamped from a party live in illusion. Atiku was having issues with OBJ over his ambition. Tinubu teamed up with the same Atiku in 2006 to give Atiku the Presidential ticket. BAT needed a platform to project himself on the national level, as AD was known as a regional party. Atiku contested in 2007 on the platform of AC and lost to Yaradua. AC transformed to ACN. The next elections came up in 2011. ACN brought up Nuhu Ribadu as the candidate. While Ribadu was the candidate of his own party, the same BAT supported GEJ against his own party’s candidate. Recently, Jonathan’s wife told us how BAT supported her husband in 2011 against Ribadu and Buhari. The same master planner finally teamed up against GEJ in 2014. He formed a coalition with elements of PDP, chief among them was the same Rotimi Amaechi, El Rufai, etc. They all including Atiku were members of PDP at some points. He brought others from APGA, ANPP and baba go slow. They all formed the coalition to remove the then sitting GEJ.

Can we not see that everyone who joined forces against GEJ are getting the same measure of issues that they set up. BAT set up a coalition to remove him. Now a coalition has been set up to remove BAT himself. Just as GEJ was not allowed to serve out his second term, the coalition now is set up to stop BAT from having his second term.

What goes around, comes around everyone!

tunapawizzy:
No if the people and voters are too dumb to distinguish between APC and ADC, then they should continue suffering. Its high time we stopped making excuses for nonchallance, only blind people cannot distinguish between P and D. Besides they will have different logos.
Some will say illiteracy and old people, balderdash!!!
